This finish from Steph whew

Jimmy's fingerprints have been all over this game

Feels like Moody forgot all of a sudden how to attack closeouts

Warriors at the half vs. ATL ORTG: 108.2 DRTG: 120.4 Dubs getting shredded in transition by the Hawks, who have a transition ORTG of 225.0.

Not a good close to the half by Steph there. Caused the illegal screen by GP2 when he made his move too early. Overhelped at the nail, leaving NAW open on the trail three.

We talk about Steph off the ball but Jimmy's got a pretty respectable off-ball game himself

The way Steph lulls Dyson into top-locking him away from Podz's screen sets up the backdoor. The master of off-ball manipulation.

Beautiful flow. Draymond keeper puts the Hawks in rotation, kick out to Steph. Attacks Kennard, draws even more attention in the paint, drop to Draymond for the layup.

Look at Al Horford, man

Melton will has his hands full guarding CJ but he's up to the task here. Chases around the screen, stays on CJ's hip, forces him into a tough turnaround fade.

STEPH NO LOOK

Warriors┃ "Triangle" BLOB (screen-the-screener) Classic STS BLOB, Steph screens then comes off of Post. Two go to Steph around the screen, Post slips inside for the layup.

Zoom action SLOB for Steph for him to get downhill, two go to him, leaves Post open on the pop for the three.

🚨NEW WORDS🚨 For @SportcastingNBA There's a notion that Steve Kerr hasn't changed and adapted his offense at all this season. He actually has – whenever Jimmy Butler is the only advantage creator on the floor. On schematic and lineup compatibility around Butler:

Podz dunk? Podz dunk!

GP2 keeper special

Switch into late double vs. Steph after the GP2 away screen forces the switch. Risky, given that Steph just finds the open man underneath.

The Jimmy offense with plenty of spacing and shooting surrounding him >>>>>

Richard cutting to the opposite dunker spot at the same time as Jimmy basket cuts to. LaVine helps off, Richard in position to receive the pass for the finish. Good offense.

Staggered ball screens out of "Follow" action to get Steph downhill. Love the spacing that this lineup provides. Kick-out to Podz, final swing to Melton to punish the Kings in rotation.

Warriors┃ "Rub" BLOB Jimmy inbounding the ball, Steph screens for him underneath for the easy bucket with no switch.

Warriors at the half vs. SAC ORTG: 134.0 DRTG: 125.5 Low-possession, high-offense game. Steph has 18 on 66.7% TS. Kings haven't been able to lock the Dubs down in the half court, but have stuck aroud due to shot making. Dubs need to lock in on defense to gain separation.

This lineup has been switching everything since last game and it has produced good results.

Draymond switching onto Dennis, expecting GP2 to veer back toward Cardwell. GP2 loses track of who he should be on, Draymond veers back instead but GP2 is nowhere near, allows Dennis an open jumper. Draymond with an audible, "WHAT YOU DOING?" to GP2 lol

Will Richard got called for reaching in against DeMar on a possession prior to this, so he applies what he learns below. Gets switched onto DeMar, defends without reaching in while staying in front. Force DeMar to have to kick out, Podz in position to contest the shot.

Steph overplayed by Dennis, cuts backdoor and Horford -- drawing Reynaud away from the paint -- completes the pass.

Gary Payton II is scoring 1.150 points per possession as the roll man in the pick-and-roll

Draymond signals for "WTF" and Steph sets a backscreen for Jimmy. Kings switch and Draymond throws the pass to where only Jimmy could get it. Gets underneath the rim against a smaller defender, Reynaud tries to help but Jimmy gets the and-1.

Warriors (20-18) are taking on the Kings (8-29) tonight. Thoughts about lineups, rotations, schemes, Xs and Os, adjustments, or anything in general?

🚨NEW WORDS🚨 On De'Anthony Melton warming up to the kind of player the Warriors need him to be (link to article in reply).

Night night

Draymond has Giannis' right-shoulder baseline spin all figured out in this possession and creates a tough angle to force the miss.

Rare to see "small" action (inverted PnR) in which Jimmy sets the screen for Draymond but it gets the KPJ switch and Draymond draws a foul.

Steph making pure mincemeat out of KPJ

Have yourself a night, De'Anthony Melton

This is just good offense right now from the Warriors with the current lineup they have. Steph-Horford PnR, Melton in the dunker spot. Horford in the short roll looks to pass to Melton which draws Rollins toward the dunker. Pass to Gui, swing to Steph to punish the Bucks in rotation.

Touuugh, Steph

Steph-Gui PnR. Look at how spaced the floor is for Gui when he gets the pass in the short roll. Gets the Bucks in rotation, swing-swing to Melton in the corner for the three.

Good bit of defense here with the Dubs switching everything. Moody keeps track of AJ Green's movement and sticks on him to contest the shot.

Steph-Jimmy PnR, Steph passes to Horford to initiate the short-action concept to counter the two-to-the-ball coverage. Jimmy rolls, layup is there for the taking despite Rollins helping off but Jimmy opts to kick out to Melton. Horford offensive board, Melton drills the reload.

Warriors at the half vs. MIL ORTG: 134.0 DRTG: 108.7 Dubs forcing the Bucks into TOs, out of which they have scored 15 points. Hot shooting has also helped: 12-25 on threes.

Two-way Horford

Good offensive possession. Steph being held by KPJ, Podz settles things down. He passes to Horford at the slot and sets the screen for Steph on the opposite slot for split action. Podz slips the screen when Steph draws two, draws the help off the corner from Moody.

Surrounding Jimmy not only with shooters but a double-big setup with two big-man shooters. Horford with the high screen to get Jimmy downhill and look how no one on the Bucks chooses to help and rotate due to the spacing.

Steph-Horford PnR and Horford's roll draws help away from Melton, who drills the three. Huge if his shot returns to its typical form.

Early Steph pin-in for Post and Post attacks the Giannis closeout, gets the finish.

Warriors (19-18) are taking on the Bucks (16-20) tonight. Thoughts about lineups, rotations, schemes, Xs and Os, adjustments, or anything in general?

🚨NEW WORDS🚨 For @SportcastingNBA For years, Draymond Green has been a double-edged sword, with an edge that has justified his mercurial temperament. But his struggle to balance impact with his fiery personality is putting the Warriors at a crossroads.
